On 22nd November 2025, Mukti’s ex-sponsored youths—who are active members and scholars of the Bob Doshi Book Club, supported by Children International—joined an engaging virtual session with Mr. Bob Doshi and Mrs. Rita Doshi.
Mr. Doshi, a major donor of Children International, runs a scholarship programme for deserving youths and continues to inspire through his guidance, wisdom, and genuine interest in young people’s growth. Mrs. Doshi, equally encouraging, adds warmth and perspective to every interaction, making each session a memorable learning experience.
The book club’s core team, comprising ex-sponsored youths from Jorasanko, once again participated actively, as they have in all previous sessions. Their consistent involvement has made them an integral part of this learning community.
The purpose of the book club is to cultivate positive reading habits, expand knowledge, sharpen critical thinking, and build essential life skills through reflective discussions. Over the years, Mr. Doshi has been conducting bi-monthly sessions covering themes such as values, decision-making, and financial literacy—including saving, spending, planning, and budgeting.
After greetings and introductions of new participants, the session turned to the book Richer, Wiser, Happier by William Green. Mr. and Mrs. Doshi shared insightful perspectives on life and money, reminding the youths that while money holds value, it is only one part of a fulfilling life. Mr. Doshi introduced a practical mantra for financial discipline:
Earn ▶️ Save ▶️ Invest ▶️ Enjoy ▶️ Repeat
He also encouraged everyone to embrace simplicity, kindness, and humility—reminding them that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
A lively question–answer session followed, focusing on investment, financial behaviour, and money psychology. Before concluding, Mr. Doshi announced the exciting news of his upcoming visit in January 2026, which the youths eagerly look forward to.
The session ended on an inspiring and enriching note, motivating participants to continue learning, reflecting, and building a strong foundation for their future.
